visibility control of a text field programmatically

[jackimullen]

I am attempting to get text fields to have visiblity or not depending on attributes set by class creation. I cannot get the visible field to respond to either a programmatic selection such as visible="parent.ATTRIBUTE==true?true:false" or to simple assignments like visible="parent.ATTRIBUTE"

thanks.. jack

Here's what I did:


<canvas debug="true">
<class name="foo" bgcolor="red" width="200" height="20">
<attribute name="isviz" value="false" />
<text name="textField"
visible="${classroot.isviz==true?true:false}">See here
</text>

</class>

<simplelayout axis="y" spacing="20" />

<foo name="a" />

<foo name="b" isviz="true"/>
</canvas>


This:


visible="parent.ATTRIBUTE"


... is old syntax. You should use the newer ${} system, which is documented here:
